Today my daughter and I biked along the Legacy Trail that runs from our family cabin in the village of Fairmont (Hot Springs) to the town of Invermere B.C. (24km). We experienced every season of weather on our two hour trip - waking up to a few inches of fresh snow, seeing the sun peak through...

and in Canada - "you know - eh"

our first trip to Portugal we rented e-bikes with a guide in Lisbon, an amazing experience with a young guide passionate about his country and history, mind you Lisbon is built on a series of steep hills that kept us puffing even with lots of assist, the old guys sipping their espresso cheered...

All the best in dealing with your tick disease, in our neck of the woods Lyme disease is becoming better understood but can still be a battle to overcome symptoms, I thought I would post a couple of "western pictures" that I'm sure you and others will get a chuckle out of . . .no Specialized...

we usually blame the white stuff on the farmers - they need the moisture

enjoyed reading your back in the saddle report, I need to follow suit - I must admit the school being delayed because of the "internet being down" had me chuckling - hmm, I think I need the internet to go down and get a few chores off the list . . .

When famous American poet, Robert Frost, was living in England near the beginning of the 20th century he penned "The Road Not Taken" that my elementary teacher made me memorize some 60 years ago when I was goofing off . . . kind of sounds like your poem less the drones and e-bikes - I shall be...

I thought I should post something new to move from a lurker to a participant - so in the words of our thread's very own Emily Dickenson - "Ready to Ride" I was determined to head out in the never ending wind and flurries and find something "extraordinary in the ordinary" but alas in my neck of...

absolutely gorgeous scenery in your pics, on a snowy day in our neck of the woods not sure they are a welcome sight or torture as to where I should be . . .

Charl and I are camping and biking in the interprovincial park of Cypress Hills on the Saskatchewan side. The colors of the changing poplar and aspen trees signalling our Fall season are truly amazing. After yesterday's invite to farming friends in the area for our Canadian Thanksgiving dinner...

finally, retreated from northern B.C. after a 2 month vacation (well some work at my daughter's ranch but in a relaxed mode) we ended up at a provincial B.C. park near Vernon, temperature highs in high twenties (celcius) and swimming in Lake Kalamaka at the first of October which seemed so...

Stefan the trumpet 🎺 is an air horn - the bike pump is great for keeping the air volume up in the container - the thing with bears they are usually only dangerous if surprised - the air horn lets them know of your presence - momma's need time to organize the Cubs to vacate the area - in this...

After spending the last few weeks on the West Coast of northern British Columbia often with little or no cell service finally getting a chance to catch up on this biking thread. Our family group would raft down the Kitimat river pulling off at likely sandbars to fish for the Coho Salmon making...

Stopped for my dark chocolate almond concoction snack under the following sign with mount Swansea jumping out at me - I use to hike up with the kids frequently and watch the hang-gliders launch themselves into space then we would hit the huckleberry hotspots on the way down. Apparently, there...

Three days of camping and mountain biking in the Little Elbow Recreation area near the mtn biking hot spot of Bragg Creek (close to Calgary). The first two days we spent exploring the trails of both the Little Elbow and the Big Elbow that my better half was able to handle with the narrower tires...
